Facts request from the microcosm side (microcosm#840 assessment; the ONS household-composition family, microcosm#736; relationship-to-head work microcosm#791).
Why
The UK household-composition targets bind the ONS Families and households Table 7, which is Labour Force Survey based (April–June quarter; ONS: "recent lower response rates have increased uncertainty"). The FRS grosses lone parents to the same LFS, so the survey side has one source. The census is the independent benchmark, and it disagrees on level: Census 2021 counts 1,719,350 one-family lone-parent households with dependent children in England and Wales alone (Nomis TS003, K04000001), while the LFS-based Table 7 gives 1,776k for the whole UK in 2021 — the LFS level runs roughly 9–11% below the census on a UK-equivalent basis. The census also finds 656,418 "other household types with dependent children" in England and Wales against an LFS multi-family count of 244–290k for the UK.
Chronicle already carries census household counts by area (ons/census2021_ts041_households_lad, …_pcon24, nrs/census2022_households_*, nisra/census2021_households_*); household composition is not packaged.
What
Household composition by type at country level (and, where the tables allow, by local authority / constituency, matching the existing ts041 geographies):
- England and Wales, Census 2021 TS003 — Nomis NM_2023_1 (
C2021_HHCOMP_15): one-person; single family by type (married/civil partnership couple, cohabiting couple, lone parent) × no / dependent / all non-dependent children; other household types × with dependent children / other.
- Scotland, Census 2022 — NRS household composition table (the UV/TS equivalent).
- Northern Ireland, Census 2021 — NISRA household composition (MS/DT equivalent).
Shape
As the ts041 census packages: household entity, census-day period (2021-03-21 E&W and NI; 2022-03-20 Scotland), country geographies (E92000001, W92000004, S92000003, N92000002 and K04000001), assertion: observation, provenance to the publisher table id; a household-type dimension whose values keep the publisher labels (the map to the ONS Table 7 categories — one-family vs multi-family, dependent vs non-dependent — is a consumer declaration).
Consumer
microcosm's ONS household-composition family: a census-anchored level (2021/2022 census + LFS trend) for the lone-parent and multi-family rows, and the reviewed-exclusion adjudication for the three composition cells unbindable without relationship-to-head (microcosm#791).
